Several Republican-led states have ended programs that helped low-income communities install solar panels, aligning with the Trump Environmental Protection Agency’s move to claw back the initiative’s federal funding.

In August, the EPA announced it would move to cancel $7 billion from its Solar for All program. The initiative is part of the Biden administration’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which was established as part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act passed by Democrats. It awarded funding to 60 states and nonprofit groups to help install solar energy and storage across the nation.
